According to multiple reports, Jackson State
assistant coach Kevin Whiteside was fired for his involvement in
an on-field altercation during Saturday’s game between JSU and
Prairie View A&M in Jackson.

Whiteside, a former Tiger player, was also
suspended by the Southwestern Athletic Conference for six games
and fined $2,000.

The SWAC suspended Kendall Logan and Marshun Hall
of Jackson State for three games and fined the school $1,000.
The conference also suspended Evan Richard and Andre Oliver of
Prairie View for three games and fined the school $1,000.

The game was cancelled, as were two games on
Sunday in JSU’s tournament.

The teams are not scheduled to play again during
the regular season, but could meet in the SWAC Tournament in
May.
